to president an leave halfway through? give me a break. shouldn't do that. >> a sign that when it comes to the gop field these days, not every republican is a satisfied customer. >> while this field has its critic, it may also have a front-runner, mitt romney is the leading republican according to a slew of new polls, only question whether romney fights off new flavors of the monthaco >> don't forget to join us for the new hampshire republican debate. hope you have a fabulous weekend. still a little time. >> we're talking about it. twins are great caddies at three months old. they think about those shots. >> you golfed before? >> that's right. >> two down, many more to go. >> okay, have a great, great weekend. all right. suzanne. >> live from studio 7 i'm suzanne malveaux. want to get you up to spead

tuesday, june 7th. >> reporters will scout through thousands of pages of sarah palin's e-mails, it's from her term as alaska governor. from 2006 to december 2008 when she was chosen as republican vice presidential candidate. palin said she's not worried about what is in the e-mails but does think they're going to be taken out of context. >> a lot of those e-mails were not meant for public consumption, they are between staff members, probably between family members. i'm sure people will capitalize on this opportunity to go through 25,000 e-mails and take things out of context. they never truly know what the context of each of the e-mails was. >> newt gingrich is looking for a new campaign staff. the gop presidential candidate pledges to make a fresh start after much of its staff jumped ship. at least seven senior staff members rescinded over disagreements about the campaign. gingrich recently took two weeks off for a planned vacation, with

his wife. jury deliberations are under way in the retrial of former illinois governor rob blagojevich. blagojevich denies that he intended to prescribe anybody and said he's relieved that the latest trial is almost over. >> we feel relieved, patty and i, that we had our chance, literally had days in court where i had a chance to get up there and answer honestly every single question that i was asked and answer fully as i was allowed to answer? >> casey anthony is back in court a day after jurors had to be sent home early. >> miss anthony is ill. we are recessing for the day. >> anthony appeared to cry and looked away when pictures of her daughter's decomposed body were presented yesterday. now, this morning, a medical examiner identified items found with 2-year-old caylee's

skeletal remains. if she's convicted of killing her daughter. anthony could face the death penalty. >> contradictions on whether nato is trying to assassinate moammar gadhafi. a senior military official tells cnn that a u.n. resolution justifies targeting the libyan leader but a nato spokenswoman said the alliance does not target individuals. we'll get clarity from former nato commander general wesley clark. >> you know, i think you got to be careful not to split hairs on this thing. i don't think the united states, or nato is saying, this is an all-out hit on the person of this it's to go after the control. protesters scatter as gun fire rings out. a syria man said he shot this

video on his cell phone last friday when government troops opened fire. it hand near a northern turn, syria's military, plans to retake today. residents are fleeing now to turkey, afade that they will be slaughtered by the troops. the government said the protesters were armed gangs. >> german officials now determined the deadly e. coli outbreak was caused the bean sprouts. 70 people became ill after eats sprouts at the same restaurant. 3,000 people have been affected. >> mixed messages on climate change. now we could get answers. a short time ago nasa launched a new satellite from bandenburg air force. the amount of salt plays a role

in climate patterns around the world. >> i want to take a closer look at the release of "today's" e-mails. the release of sarah palin's e-mails. the alaska governor office making the documents public after they requested them to be made public under the freedom of information act. joining us from fair banks, alaska, derek cole, what do we expect? what are you expecting to see in the 24,000 pages of e-mails. what do you think you actually reveal? >> well, it will provide maybe one of the best looks yet we've had at the internal workings of the palin administration, from when she was elected governor, until she assumed a national role as gop nominee. because the e-mails are from 2006 until september 2008. some of this is bound to be

embarrassing thing force the former governor, and perhaps to current and former state employees, who may have said things in e-mails that they now regret, or, you know, because they like to fashion -- people like to fashion their comments for public consumption, and they say things, more candidly in e-mail, at least they did at that time. >> when you talk about potentially embarrassing thing, what kinds are things are you thinking about? >> well, largely, with the way that the former governor dealt with people, and with issue, in the state, i don't think frankly on the national level that this is going to make much of a difference at all to people who are already palin opponents. or palin supporters. i think people in both of those groups will find plenty of ammunition in those documents to

confirm, the notions that they've already formed about her. this will be a more candid view, of the pallen administration. although it's not complete. a couple thousand e-mails withheld for various reasons. people ask, or are curious about this, we don't really know. >> we're having a tough time hearing from you, do you think this reveals the kind of relationships with your employees when she was the governor of that state? >> i think that's probably the main thing revealed in these documents. governor palin was a fan of e-mail and used it a lot in communication. i suspect this will provide a good look at how she operated

when she was a state's chief stew differ. >> all right. deritt coale, we know you'll be poring through those e-mails. what new details do you expect to surface in palin's e-mails? we'll send us your thoughts. here's stories we'll be covering in the next hour. the u.n. ramps up pressure against momar ammar gadhafi but it specifically targeting the libyan leader? and firefighters trying to get the wildfire under control and how aoyun boy's amazing gift helps to protect dogs in the line of duty. and citigroup adds to the

anderson cooper about the max exodus. >> i think at the base of all of this, was the discipline that many of us who have known newt and liked him and worked for him for 30 career, thought may be missing, and the kind of skill set you need to do the things he did to bring republicans into majority in the congress, are a completely different set of skills than what you need when you're running for president. i think that's been glaringly obvious. >> joining us from washington, cnn political dribber and con serve tiv commentator, amy holmes, co-host of american morning news on the talk radio network. amy, great to see you. >> great to be here. >> what do you make of this? it seems the campaign imploded before they got started? >> not unlike when it launched. he went on the sunday show and called paul ryan's plan, right-wing social engineering. as you just heard, this has been

the rap about newt gingrich a long time. but the man who led the republican revolution in 1994, his skills to lead a revolution, not consolidate it. he got these same criticisms when he was speaker of the house. the big surprise here is just how quickly and thoroughly his campaign imploded, not that it did. >> is there a whiff of scandal at all? is there something more to this story that we're not getting? that a whole group of people who say it's not worth it, forget it? is there something more here? >> with newt gingrich, i don't think so. i think we know so much about hip, in terms of scandal, personal life, his marriages and so forth. some analysts are saying that the folks that worked for him are really looking at rick perry. as newt gingrich likes to quote on middle east policy, people like to follow the strong horse. maybe they are looking at rick perry, governor of texas as being a stronger horse. newt gingrich is not proving to

be a show pony, he went on vacation. >> any way he can reverse this, he can regroup and get back into the game? he said he's going to. >> i don't see that happening. again, with this campaign, it was really more ideological, what newt gingrich would bring to the debate stage and how he would frame issue, how it's a practical game on the ground and how he would shape the outcome of the gop nomination. >> how do you think he'll shape it? how will he impact what people are talking about? how they present themselves? >> knute, as we know is eminently quotable and reliably quotable. monday on the new hampshire debate stage, if he appear, as he intends to, they'll talk about foreign policy, talking about domestic policy, you expect him to be very conservative, don't raise taxes, all of those kinds of things, it's interesting to see if other folks on the debate stage take shots of him, so it should be

exciting. >> a couple of people wondering if he shows up, drives himself to the debate. who will be with him. obviously his wife. >> that's a nice touch for any politics, actually. >> that's true. save some money. what about sarah palin? 24,000 pages of e-mails from her time as governor of alaska. what would you be looking for if you sift through all of those, amy? >> i understand her lawyers already sifted through it. possibly the damaging stuff is not in there. i think it's more of a characterization of sarah palin. what kind of boss is she? what sort of talk when she thought she was talking privately? i don't think develop of that is worthwhile. frankly for "the new york times" and washington post to ask their readers to do, quote, unquote, crowd sourcing, sounds like a witch hunt. they are asking for more like rocks to throw at sarah palin. it certainly plays to her

narrative that the media is biased and obsessed with her? >> what do you think she's up to? why do you think she's doing a high profile bus tour? do you think she was going to jump in at some point? the debate is monday. >> does sarah palin do anything low profile? i don't think so. sarah palin has been very successful. the most successful vice president depgs candidate who didn't make it to the white house in history. this is a woman who is "the new york times" best seller. making millions of dollars, raising her profile. seems like every day she gets huge amounts of money for speaking fees. all of these play into whatever sarah palin wants to do in the future. >> i don't know, sounds like she's auditioning for a campaign manager there. >> do you know sarah palin has been successfully getting the cameras on her. >> all right. amy, have a great weekend. >> thanks, suzanne. >> we're getting mix messaged whether nato is directly

targeting moammar gadhafi. a spokeswoman said he's a target but a spokeswoman said that's not true. sarah, paint a picture for us, if you will, i know today you've been in the midst of a lot of back and forth -- you've seen a lot of activity. is it safe on the ground? are the rebels, you know, in charge? what is taking place there where you are? >> well, there are two things, one, i want to make very clear that the city of mizrahi is still secured by the rebels. that has not changed. what has changed is the amount of fighting that has gone on today. right now we're inside a field hospital on the front lines. this place has been so busy, this is the first time these doctors have had a rest in six hours, they haven't had time to count the number of patients who

have come in from the front line, but we know at least 23 people have died here alone today. this is the worst fighting, according to doctors, that they've seen in a month. the situation dire on the front lines. what we've been hearing throughout the day since early this morning are loud thunderous booms over and over again. one thing to note, though. in the last, half hour or so, we heard something in the sky. because there's a no-fly zone that can only mean one thing, that nato had arrived. about half an hour ago, we heard planes flying overhead. suddenly things have gotten quiet. they've been quiet here for the last, say, ten minutes. suzanne. >> sarah, what is happening around you inside this clinic? >> it was complete chaos. i have to tell you, when we first got here, there were so many patients coming in. everybody getting out of the way. these doctors are volunteers who have other shifts at the hospital. but they come here to the field hospital which is close to the front line. close enough to field the ground

shake when this place shoots off, shay, a mortar. they've been so busy, i can tell you that the injuries have been absolutely horrific, those who have survived many look as though they will lose a limb. we saw several men come in with limbs basically blown off. horrific injuries. they stabilize them here, do whatever they can. put them in these bed, they are about one, two, three, four, five, six, seven -- eight beds here. they've got gurneys back and forth from the main hospital. another boom just now, seems like the fighting is starting up again. these doctors are pushed to their limit. even used pits and pieces of a cabinet to stabilize someone's legs to get them to the main hospital. a lot of fighting. >> we've been talking about the nato mission and whether or not nato is targeting momar ga daf

fy in particular, what can you tell us about that? >> they're saying gadhafi is in his compound. but very clear with cnn an others that their mission is a humanitarian mission, trying to keep anyone from the gadhafi side using their arms on general civilians. it is very, very hard to tell on the ground, certainly rumors here, when people hear that here in cities where the rebels hold the city, there is adulation, they are happy to hear these things, they really want moammar gadhafi to go in any way possible. >> sarah, please be safe. excellent reporting. thank you. after two weeks firefighters make headway in a massive wildfire, but a long way to go.

here's a rundown, some of the stories we're working on. next, firefighters in arizona finally beginning to contain the wildfires that has forced thousands from their hopes. then the republican presidential candidate, they are preparing a face-off. we have a preview of cnn's upcoming new hampshire debate. and later, citigroup, under pressure after a hacker accessed

the information of some 200,000 customers. we're going to look how serious that security breach was. finally, a glimmer of hope for firefighters who have been fighting this huge wildfire in eastern arizona. it is now 5% contained. that doesn't sound like a lot. but until yesterday. it was zero percent contained. jim, we understand the winds are at least a little bit calmer here. we know that the smoke must be pretty tough, even for you, in covering this. yea yeah? >> yeah, it's really smoky here this morning. everybody has to have a bandana covering their mouth or mask just to get around here. what they call a inversion, after the cool mornings, the winds are calm and all of the smoke stays down. it looks bad. but that's good news for the

firefighter, today, they hope to have low winds into tomorrow afternoon, they have about 30 hours where they have more low wind, they can add to the 5% containment number. yesterday they had a big d.c. 10 dropping retardant, hopefully today when the inversion lifts they'll do more runs on that and get a handle on it, protect more homes in eagar and springerville. >> i know you took the ha handkerchief off. but what it is like to breathe that kind of air, that smoke? >> it really is difficult. i took it off before so we could speak a little better. you really need it today. it's so thick. we're several miles from the firefighters, who are in there working on it. it's, of course, hot up against the fire. we work 16 hour shifts every day. about 3,000 in there.

unbelievably back breaking work. using hand tools to dig these trenches and create the barrier between the head of the fire that has been moving towards these communities, and sort of starve it from fuel by digging trenches and doing back burns, intentional burns, all of this grass and stuff you see between the homes and fire. it is really tough conditions. this is day 11 of this fire. for these firefighter crew, they are starting to get tired, fatigue is starting to set in. >> they feel good today. yesterday was the day they feel is a good day. we'll have another, suzanne. >> hopefully hope for another good day. put that napkin on your mouth and stay safe. >> our own rob marciano is here with more new, i guess there's good news that there's calmer

winds at least? >> the air settles. when the wind is blowing, it blows that smoke out of there. but also fans the fire. this is the area we're talking about well east of phoenix, as well as weather there, it's pretty still right now. as far as how still it is less than 10 miles an hour. that's good news for the folks fighting the fire, want to give you an idea where the fire is, and how much it's progressed in the last 10 to 11 days. it started out as a pretty small fire then we had these strong southwest winds. that's what brought the fire to new mexico border. you see here the last couple dace, we're looking pretty much it's beginning to halt because the winds die down. today is the day we'll really

see progress. although it's a massive fire with 5% containment. here's the forecast, today is the only day that we've seen noncritical conditions, calm winds. tomorrow we will get windier condition, tart to see more in the southwesterly flow. sunday, monday, we'll see windier conditions again. we're noun in monsoon conditions, chances of any rain helping them out is minimum. >> today is the day. >> now is the time to choose news? hard look at the human cost on the war on libya. the children wounded in the crossfire. >> we're looking how safe the water is at your local beach, or, third, alec baldwin, actor,

comedian, activist, is the star really ready to be new york's next mayor? secretary 1 for libya's young war casualty, 2 for what's in the water and 3 for alex baldwin, the next mayor. see if we can "stitch" together a better deal. that's a hint, antoine. ooh! see what anandra did? booking your flight and hotel at the same time gets you prices hotels and airlines won't let expedia show separately. book it. major wow factor! where you book matters. expedia.

every day, millions of children around the world threw huge piles of trash, hoping to find something to sell or buy food for their families, these kids can spend their entire life scavaging, unless they somehow manage to get an education. that's where this week's cnn heroes comes in. >> currently in argentina, there are a lost children working. most children work, recovering waste from the garbage dump to sell for a small profit. they can be very small children, three, four, five years old. all parents want a better life for their children than what they had. but there are times when the whole family tries to work and try to make ends meet. my name is elena, i founded a

organization to help the boise of the dump get out so they no longer have to work there to survive. when i arrived in argentina, it hit hard to see so many small children picking through garbage. many of these boys and girls have dropped out of school. i decided i had to do something for them. >> we tried to be as fully integrated as possible. there's a school tracking group. a psychologist and social worker. we worked with the family on the value of putting them in school. any time we get a child close to school, it's a seed we are planting. you hope not to put the child on the street again. if he returns we go after him. >> education is how we start to break vicious cycles, to give

children a better future. i learn something from the children every day, to be happy under very complex circumstances. >> elena's organization teaches about 200 children, free of charge. remember every cnn hero is chosen from people you tell us about. to nominate someone you think is changing the world, go to cnn heroes.com. >> republican presidential candidates and contenders are getting ready to face off on a cnn debate. we'll have a preview live from new hampshire ahead.

more than 24,000 pages of e-mails from sarah palin's term of governor are being released today. so we asked you, what new details do you expect to surface in the palin e-mails? i think the e-mails will show leadership and help make a case for her to clear up her image with americans. this should be used as a tool. >> jim said i expect to find out she's less capable of governing than we already knew. stacey asked, is this normal? i'm not a fan but why release her e-mails? we'll have more of your thoughts later in the "newsroom.." it is just three days, and

counting, until the republicans meet in a cnn presidential debate. deputy political director, paul steinhauser is joining us from new hampshire with a preview. paul, this is when it all gets really interesting and exciting and the candidates roll out their strategies to become potential candidates, what do we make of these candidates? >> this is going to be fascinating. today we brought our election buses, we were here four years ago for democratic and republican debates, this time obviously only on the republican side. this debate will be the first where we see mitt romney, governor of neighboring massachusetts. some people consider him the front-runner. he is on top of most national polls, we haven't seen him in a debate yet. same thing for newt gingrich. i think you can say newt gingrich has the most to prove in this debate. most of his top aides, his staff, advisers left the campaign yesterday. also this is the first time

we've seen michele bachmann, first time for her in a republican debate. she is not a candidate yet. but she's leading very much toward that. she'll have a big announcement to make. pretty big tip. >> we're always waiting for things to pop in these debates. especially in the beginning stages. what do we expect? what do we need to stand out this group that we've seen? >> that's a great question, some candidates do need to stand out. take former senator rick santorum of pennsylvania. he's a social conservative and beloved by many people, but not well known nationally. this kind of debate, this kind of arena, a nationally televised debate will give him a chance to stand out. herman cain is a businessman, former ceo of godfather's pizza. beloved by many tea party

activists but not well known by many activists. this will give him a chance as well. >> paul, is there any buzz what is happening with gingrich? are folks talking about that thinking, who is he going to show up with on monday? >> yeah, there is a lot of talk about newt gingrich and what is happening to him. since he announced a month ago the former house speaker had a lot of setbacks, this week is the most damaging. there's a lot of talk whether he can survive. he's defiant saying my campaign can survive. he's going to be at a speaking event in los angeles sunday night. then he told me, an adviser told me he'll be in new orleans at a big republican powwow thursday. >> thanks. we'll have all of that over the weekend. and monday, join us as republican hopefuls gather to size one another up and debate the issue, new hampshire

want to bring you some live pictures of the casey anthony trial. we are looking at pictures now, casey anthony standing up there, calling for a recess here in the courtroom. you may recall casey anthony was sick yesterday. now she's spent much of the day wiping tears from her eyes, burying her face in her hands. she looks quite distraught there. she has a kleenex in her hand. what took place earlier today, the chief medical examiner was being cross examined. there was quite a bit of discussion about the remains, the body of this woman's child,

2-year-old caylee anthony. casey anthony here, who appears to be crying, is accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter and you can see that she is emotional here. there has been a number of photos revealing the skull of her 2-year-old daughter, as well as very detailed information about the decomposition and human remains of her 2-year-old. she's now leaving the courtroom. we're going to have more analysis of the casey anthony case later with holly hughes who will break it down for us. julian assange is the self-appointed champion of free speech who founded wikileaks. he's revealed the secrets of both dictators and democracies. sunday a "cnn presents" documentary reveals a side of assange that you have not seen with exclusive behind-the-scenes

>> we feel obligated to step out in wikileaks' defense. because if wikileaks goes down, that leaves very bad implications for the rest of us. >> reporter: a maverick and game changer, he's also under attack for his own behavior. >> he's taken aim at his observe foot and shot it. >> assange actually just arrived at the courthouse. you can see him. he's going to come right through this gated area into the courthouse. that's my first glimpse at julian assange. >> reporter: this is one of the most intimate portraits yet of julian assange. >> great to see you. obviously a very good piece of journalism there. can you give us a sense of the legal future of assange now? where does this stand? >> well, suzanne, it's an interesting question because basically the stakes are getting

higher and higher for assange. he has the case in sweden where he faces allegations of sexual misconduct or rape, but that really pales in comparison to what we're hearing is a growing investigation by the u.s. department of justice where there's been some grand jury subpoenas come down in the last several weeks. so that indicates a very serious legal threat to assange. >> how does bradley manning play into all of this? where is he? >> bradley manning is actually the linchpin in assange's legal issues here in the united states. if theyley manning to assert that julian assange solicited this information from here, assange no longer has the defense of just being a publisher. >> remind the viewers who manning is. >> manning is the alleged leaker, the army private who allegedly leaked all of these secret documents to assange. 's currently been moved to a brig, military penitentiapenite ft. levinworth, kansas.

>> what is the future of wikileaks. we saw these guys in the masks, they're an anonymous group. what can they do in the future? >> we don't know. the big picture, 50,000 foot view, that the leaking landscape is becoming decentralized. there's actually -- julian assange has first mover advantage but there are many other organizations that are starting their own wikileaks, if you will, open leaks is a rival organization and even some media organizations are starting their own leaking websites. >> looking forward to seeing this over the weekend. really excellent work. thanks. on sunday night, cnn takes you inside the private world of wikileaks founder julian assange. watch "wikiwars the mission of julian assange." cnn sunday night at 8:00 eastern. don't you? don't you? you inspired a very special dog food.

security numbers, dates of birth or card security codes, the company says, but did view customers' names, account numbers and contact information. can they still do damage getting names, account numbers, contact information? >> sure. with just your name and your contact information, what hackers can do is sell that information for identity fraud or identity theft and try to poachcitibank. but more importantly, they can use that information to try to trick citibank tellers or other operators into believing they're the actual customer. >> reporter: mark rash is a former cyber crime prosecutor at the justice department. he says the bank's built-in protections only go so far. on the same page of its website where it says how you are protected, citigroup says it uses 128-bit secure sockets layer encryption technology. the most widely used method of securing internet transactions available today. sounds impressive but can it really protect you? what does this even mean? >> ssl means that from your browser, from this window here,

to their computer, there's like a security pipe that's really hard to break in to. it doesn't mean anything about -- it's like driving to the bank. when you're driving to the bank you're secure. once you get inside the bank and engage in a transaction, it doesn't mean anything about the security of that transaction or the files when they're stored in their filing cabinet. >> reporter: brian todd, cnn, washington. i'm suzanne malveaux. want to get you up to speed. another day of intense fighting is under way in the libyan city of misratah. a doctor tells cnn at least 17 people were killed today as forces loyal to moammar gadhafi tried to enter the rebel-held city. nato has just released this aircraft cockpit video. it shows strikes on moammar gadhafi's facilities in tripoli over the last few days. a senior nato military official tells cnn that a u.n. resolution

justifies target be the libyan leader. but a nato spokeswoman denies it. >> nato does not target any specific individuals. we do target critical military capabilities that could be used to organize a plan and conduct attacks against civilians and civilian centers. >> a break for firefighters in arizona. calmer winds are expected to help them make headway against the massive wildfire in the eastern part of the state. after a two-week battle, the fire is now 5% contained. it has burned an area bigger than los angeles. in florida, pushing and shoving outside the courtroom as crowds line up to see the casey anthony trial. inside, thursday jurors had to be sent home early. >> miss anthony is ill, we are

recessing for the day. >> anthony appeared to cry when pictures of her daughter's decomposed body were shown yesterday. this morning a medical examiner identified items found with 2-year-old caylee's skeletal remains. if anthony is convicted of killing her daughter, she could face the death penalty. a new concern in japan's nuclear crisis. four new areas have been added to the list of places affected by radiation from the crippled nuclear plant in fukushima. they are all outside the original evacuation zone. tomorrow marks three months since an earthquake and tsunami hit that area of northern japan damaging the nuclear plant. the presidential campaign of republican newt gingrich is now in disarray. just a month after he officially joined the 2012 race. seven senior staffers resigned yesterday over disagreements about the direction of the campaign.

gingrich says he plans to start anew. in an abc interview, he took aims at politics, as usual. >> there's a fundamental strategic difference between the traditional consulting community and the kind of campaign i want to run. now we'll find out over the next year who's right, but i believe we live in a time when americans are genuinely frightened for their country's future and when the country really wants to have leadership, that talks with them honestly and isn't automatically doing the old politics. less than an hour from now, reporters will be scouring through more than 24,000 pages of sarah palin's e-mails. now the documents are from her term as alaska governor from 2006 until september 2008 when she was can chosen as the republican vice presidential candidate. our cnn's drew griffin is in juneau, alas today, where documents are being released. he joins us by phone. drew, if you can, paint a

picture for us here. are you actually going to be getting boxes handed over to you, wheeled out to the press corps? >> reporter: believe it or not, even though these were electronically generated e-mails, we are getting boxes, six boxes of these printed out forms from the state government. like i said, at the top of the hour. we literally have to go over to an administrative office, go upstairs to the third floor and carry the six boxes out of there and suzanne, once we get them, we have a group of people who will be going through them and trying to find out what is in them and if there's anything news worthy inside them. what do we expect to find in these e-mails? there seems to be a lot of talk and speculation i imagine even among reporters and people who are out there in alaska as well. >> well, you know, so much of her record has been analyzed already and investigated and a lot of that came out during her run as vice president. but i think we'll see the

interior workings of her as governor before she got on the national stage. we'll see her management style. we'll be able to go back and look at some of those scandals or miniscandals that were involved in her early years of being in the governor ship, the trooper-gate issues and see what kind of information was flowing back and forth between palin, her aides and state officials and get a deeper look at just how she was operating as governor of the state of alaska. >> drew, do we know anything more about the 2000 pages of e-mails that are not being released? why they're not being made public? >> yeah. all of these were reviewed by alaska's department of law. some of them involve what the lawyers for the state deem attorney-client privilege. others fall under an alaska statute which allows for this deliberate process privilege, which is a law that was created to allow the free flow of

opinion and information between lawmakers as they discuss policy issues. those are what we are told are being classified or not being released. that is actually being challenged by some people here in alaska. and also we'll get some documents that are redacted. those things we usually see from the pentagon where certain words are blanked out or sensitive material is just gone over with perhaps a sharpie. so there will be some material withheld but we're going to get 24,199 pages, i believe, suzanne. that's plenty to dig through. >> you've got a busy weekend, drew. i imagine if anything pops, will you bring it to our attention and we'll get it on as quickly as possible. drew, be patient. it is going to be a long weekend. thanks, drew. now we want to hear from you. what new details do you expect to surface in the palin e-mails?

many conservative voters just don't seem satisfied with the gop presidential options that are out there right now. so they are looking to the sidelines. here's cnn's jim acosta. >> reporter: ronald reagan bumper sticker on a cadillac parked out front is just the first sign. tammy's diner in virginia serves conservative politics right along with the country ham. it is a good thing the current list of likely gop candidates isn't on the menu. some of these republicans just might stick with coffee. >> i like somebody who's a staunch conservative, staunch republican. there's no model, no perfect guy sitting right there right now.

obama's going to get elected again. none of these guys can beat him. >> you don't think so. >> huh-uh. not right now. >> reporter: there may be another reason why voters in roundhill are looking for some other options for 2012. a few big-name politicians are acting like presidential teases. >> what about when the session is over, governor? are you going to think about it? >> yes, sir. >> about running for president? >> i'm going to think about it. i think about a lot of things. >> texas governor rick perry is stoking speculation with plans to stage a national prayer event later this summer. former new york city mayor rudy giuliani keeps popping up in new hampshire. and sarah palin not only has a campaign style bus, there's a pro-palin movie coming soon. >> what do you think the odds are that you will run? >> i don't know. i honestly don't know. it's still a matter of looking at the field and considering much. >> reporter: new jersey governor chriskr cristie.

think of these republicans as specials of the day, not quite on the gop menu, but not quite off. a new cnn/opinion research poll shows republicans do want alternatives. two-thirds of gop voters would like to see giuliani jump into the race. a slightly smaller but not too shabby majority wants palin to run as well. another recent poll found nearly 40% of republicans aren't happy with their choices. >> if the election were tomorrow? it would probably be mitt romney. but that's only because of the lack of choice. >> reporter: back at tammy's diner, even the prospect of new choices like palin don't sound too appetizing. >> you going to get elected to president half-way through? i mean give me a break. >> reporter: a sign that when it comes to the gop field these days, not every republican is a satisfied customer. while this field has its critics, it may also have a

front-runner. mitt romney is the leading republican according to a slew of new polls. only question is whether romney can fight off any new flavors of the month that are added to the gop menu. jim acosta, cnn, washington. join us for the new hampshire republican presidential debate. that is monday night, 8:00 eastern, only here on cnn. well, a loud and rowdy crowd rushes to line up for a chance to see the casey anthony trial. lots of pushing and shoving this morning outside the florida courtroom. you can see this. and the crowd started chanting "get out of line" after some accuses others of trying to cut in. so then security was called. paramedics were called. firefighters were called. several people were asked to leave. casey anthony became emotional yesterday as well as today as jurors were shown graphic photos of her daughter caylee's remains. they were found six months after the 2-year-old was last seen by her family.

the judge ended the session early when anthony appeared to become ill. anthony reappeared this morning. the jury has been shown more of these crime scene photos and several items that were found with the girl's remains. anthony looked away when the photos were presented as evidence. there have been several dramatic and emotional developments this week. joining us to help us put it all into perspective, criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor, holly hughes, and yesterday, holly -- thank you for joining us -- it was a very powerful day in court. we saw casey sick. emotional. and we saw these very graphic photos and descriptions of the decomposed body as well as the skull. did this change the tone at all of how this is going? >> it absolutely does, suzanne. what it does is it brings back into focus the victim, caylee marie anthony, the little 2-year-old. because what we saw yesterday

was not the laughing child not that beautiful little girl, what we saw is what is left of her, what remains of her. it's little pieces of bone fragments that dr. john schultz, the anthropologist, told us that animals had gnawed on. so what the jury is left with -- remember, they're sequestered. so when they go back to their hotel at night, that's the picture in their mind. they can't watch tv to distract themselves. they can't listen to the radio. they can't read the newspaper and they can't talk about this with anybody else so they are sitting alone in that hotel room thinking about the picture of a little tiny baby skull with empty eye sockets with vines growing through it. that's what's left of this little girl. now with respect to casey anthony, the defendant's emotions, the jury's got -- they got to be asking themselves, is it real or is it crocodile tears? because everything we've learned about her so far, even from her

own defense lawyer, who acknowledged in opening that she's a liar. she doesn't tell the truth. so we have to ask ourselves, is this guilt and remorse? is it finally hitting home what she did to her baby? because when she put her out there, as the prosecution alleges, she would have still been intact, suzanne. she would have still been that beautiful little body and casey could have just thought, well, she's asleep in her own mind. >> there's a photo that's to be presented of a piece of duct tape that they believe was put over the child's mouth. how significant is that photo? >> it's huge to proving the prosecution's contention that this is a first degree murder case. because if you just use your common sense, you know, do away with the scientists, just talk to the jury like they're just people off the street, and ask, why would you have to put duct tape around a body that's already dead? you wouldn't have to cut off that air passage. it wouldn't have to be around the nose and the mouth which i believe that dr. g, the medical examiner who's currently on the

stand, is going to tell us about today. she found it still attached to the mandible, the lower part of the jaw. so what it proves is, by common sense standards, that tape would have been applied while that little girl was still alive and breathing and jeff ashton, when he did some hearings, he is our lead prosecutor. when he did some hearings in this case earlier, he talked about did caylee look into the eyes of her killer as they wrapped that tape around her nose and mouth because her little eyes would have been peering out. did she know what was happening to her? and you better believe he's going to ask those questions again, and that is going to break the jury's heart. >> holly, thank you so much. obviously a lot of people paying attention to this case. it's just absolutely rifting and fascinating. as we saw from the pictures, people are just rushing to get into this courtroom just to be a part of this. >> it's riveting. it is absolutely riveting. not only do we have this beautiful little baby, but then you've got this cutting-edge science that people are interested in.

you've got these grieving grandparents. you've got the dynamic of a family that's now been severed by the defendant, casey anthony, is saying all these horrible accusations against her father and brother. this is the only people that have supported her. they are the only ones that stood by her for this entire time. and now, some would say, to save her own neck, she is throwing them under -- not the bus, suzanne, but the tank, the big sherman tank and rolling over them for her own benefit. >> holly, thank you so much. we'll be paying very close attention to all of the twists and turns and details of this one. thanks, holly. well, thousands of syrians are now running for their lives. many say they were fired on by government troops in a brutal crackdown on protests. a live report near the place of refuge.le biofilm so strong it survives brushing. thankfully, there's listerine® antiseptic. its triple-action formula penetrates biofilm,

kills germs and protects your mouth for hours. fight biofilm with listerine®.

syrians are fleeing by the thousands. they are afraid they're going to be slaughtered by government troops who today launched an operation to retake towns from massive protests have been held. one protesters says he captured the violence at a peaceful march. just take a look at this.

the man who shot this video says the incident happened last friday. refugees from that area have since fled to turkey. our ivan watson is on the turkey-syria border. ivan, yesterday just unbelievable reporting. just very, very strong. some 2,400 refugees, you say, were crossing from syria. there are more people crossing today. are you seeing still people trying to escape the slaughter that is taking place in syria? >> we sure are. in the refugee camp behind me, some of the refugees are holding an impromptu protest chanting they want regime change now. the man who brought us that video last night, he smuggled himself across the border, suzanne, i spoke with him. he went back because he was intending to participate in friday demonstrations after friday prayers.

you saw the footage last week when a similar protest was attacked. he g-- we got off the phone les than an hour ago. he says thousands of people were walking unarmed and were suddenly attacked by syrian armed forces, not only from the ground by flying in helicopters overhead and shooting machine guns into the crowd. as we spoke to him, he had a bullet wound in his right thigh. he was then speaking to us from the hospit-- not speaking from hospital, but from a friend's house. he is afraid if he goes to the hospital he will get rounded up by security syrian forces. we've been at hospitals here in turkey that have received scores of patients, syrians, with bullet wounds also have been evacuated out of syria because they're too afraid to go to their own hospitals because the syrian government is killing its own citizens, apparently as we speak. suzanne? >> it must have really taken quite an act of courage for that man to cross back over into

syria. the syrian government is saying that these protesters are armed gangs. do you see any evidence of any of the people that you're talking to or you're seeing who are crossing over the border who are armed opposition to the syrian government? >> that's a good question. if you look over the fence here at the 1,500, 1,800-odd refugees in this camp, most of them are women and children. i haven't seen any weapons being held by any of those kids. the video that you've been showing, the first 10, 15 seconds of it show thousands of men walking up the streets in the countryside. last week the only weapons any of them could have of -- what happens to be the flag poles of the protest banners they're carrying. the man we spoke with, again with the bullet wound in his right thigh right now, he says they have specific orders not to carry around weapons.

they're searching for weapons specifically. they even stop people from carrying knives or from carrying flag poles that are too large. it's a game of he said/she said. but one side here has tanks and helicopter gunships firing on its citizens. others are out demonstrating saying we want freedom and democracy. you choose who perhaps is closer to the truth. >> ivan watson, as always, thank you for your excellent reporting. we are now giving you the chance to choose the news. these are the choices. first up, a hard look at the human cost of war in libya. the children wounded in the cross fire. second, as america's heat wave continues, the coastline is a popular escape. but we're looking at just how safe the water is at your local beach. or third, alec baldwin, actor, comedian, activist. is the television star really ready to be new york's next mayor? vote for your favorite story by choosing and texting 22360, text "1" for libya's young war

cnn "in-depth" is on a listening tour to hear about your concerns about the economy and how those concerns are shaping your views on the presidential race.

our correspondents across the country and cnn's don lemon has been talking to new hampshire students ahead of cnn's debate monday night. >> are you guys ready for the debate? >> yes! >> yes. the most important issue you want to hear from them. >> unemployment. >> unemployment. what about you? >> keeping the arts in school programs. >> really? >> yeah. >> and you? >> the troops' future. when they coming home. >> yeah. no one said social issues. social issues not important? >> they are. >> so is social security. >> no. why do you say that? >> because we're not going to have it when we get older. so -- and we're paying into it but we're not going to get it. >> that concerns you. >> it does. >> tell me why. >> because i want my money. if i'm paying for it, i want it and my future isn't stable. >> anybody else think about social security or anything like that? yes? do you? >> i think rights for gay marriage is something that candidates seem to -- a topic they seem to avoid, to avoid

controversy i think. i think that's a topic that deserves attention and -- i don't know. that's how i feel. >> why do you think that deserves attention? >> just because it's -- it affects a lot of americans and it's kind of sad how many states don't allow gay marriage. and i think that should change. >> are younger people on board with that issue? or are you less or more conservative when it comes to social issues? most of the candidates that are going to be here are very conservative on social issues. >> i think the older you get, older generations, they're more conservative. but our generations, and if you look down, like younger people, they're much more liberal. they're becoming more liberal, more open and many of these social issues, to us, they're not really a problem anymore. >> so you think as we go on, here in the future, people will be less concerned about those things and really more concerned about the economy, money, social security? >> yeah. >> yeah? >> well, i think that's kind of how new hampshire work. it's never been a really

socially conservative state. we have gay marriage bill. you can get a gay marriage license in new hampshire. and i think you find looking at the primary that the candidates don't come here and talk about social issues as much as if they were in iowa or south carolina. >> don lemon joins us live. hey, don. so tell us, is there any buzz about newt gingrich losing his staff among students? do they have any pain about that, what's taken place? >> reporter: oh, suzanne, come on! you've done this. you know, of course they do. as a matter of fact when we taped that yesterday the news about flute beginninewt gingrice down. students were gathering around the television sets saying what's going down? people around the university were saying we can't even get some of the information out because we haven't heard from the staff on newt gingrich's campaign. so yeah they're talking about it and they want to hear from newt

gingrich on monday about happened. it is a beautiful campus. all of the kids here, and some of the kids in that piece there in our story are working for us as cnn runners. they are very excited about it but they're very plugged in to the political talk and to the political events so they want to know and especially hear from newt gingrich and they want to hear from mitt romney because he's a big name in these parts. >> sure. and what are some of the other issues on students' minds? you went through quite a few of them. they seem to be really focused on the economy and social security. that was really fascinating. are there other things that they're talking about? >> reporter: yeah, i was surprised. they're actually the ones that brought up the social issues and all that. they said, listen, when you can't get a job -- we're going to graduate soon, some of us, and we want to know if we can find jobs when we get out of school. if all this money we're paying for our education is going to be worth it. if we can't work, then all of it is for naught. they want to hear about that from the candidates. yes, social security, the

environment, the troops, those are all real important issues to them but they don't want these guys to come to new hampshire and talk about social issues. they say that's important but it is a second-tier issue when you have a bad economy and people are out of work. >> wow. really interesting. don, we'll be watching. obviously it is going to be a hot debate. that's going to happen on monday. cnn hosts the new hampshire presidential debate. join us as the republican hopefuls gather to size one another up and debate the issues. that's monday night at 8:00 eastern only on cnn. more than 24,000 pages of e-mails from sarah palin's term as governor are being released today. so we asked you, what new details do you expect to surface in the palin e-mails? david says -- i hope she gives us more insights into history. like how abraham lincoln crossed the delaware, how eisenhower developed the theory of relativity or how lewis and clark started a civil war. while carolyn says -- ask for

obama's and other past e-mails. i bet you'll find a lot more there. get over it people. i'm beginning to like her more the more you all do her this way. for more off the actual contents of the palin e-mails, that's later in the "newsroom."

alison kosik is at the new york stock exchange. tell us what is happening. >> hi, suzanne. we are watching the dow trade below that psychological mark of 12,000 for the first time in almost three months. fact is, investors really don't have much economic news to trade on today so they're focusing on what they're worried about -- housing, manufacturing and jobs. we're seeing the growing pessimism in a new cnn money survey as well where experts are saying there is a 15% chance of a new recession. that's double the chance they believe at the start of the year. keep in mind, chances of another recession, odds are slim but what this shows is that growing negativity. >> last year's health care overhaul included a provision for families, parents could keep their kids on insurance until age 26. we're now learning parents are not signing up their kids. why is that not happening? why not? >> you know why? because parents found out how much it costs. 43% will only keep their adult kids on their health insurance if it's free. but guess what?

it's not free. if you're insuring your kid from college, graduation to the age of 26, it's yet another four years of health insurance payments. you know what? to be honest, it is bad timing for many of these parents. they're already thinking about retirement. but many parents still are willing to help for a limited time. 30% of parents say it is okay to help your kid for a year but you know what? they want to cut the cord real soon. >> wow. this is only a year old, the health care bill. do we think that this is something that's going to continue where parents are not going to want to pay for their kids' health care insurance going forward? >> well, because this is new, as you said, it is really too early to say whether or not this would stick. so it's really going to depend on the costs. because four extra years of coverage hits your employer, too. there's a consulting firm, mercer, say many employers will pass the added cost on to workers. analysts what's really going to be the test, to find out how popular this is will come in the fall when open enrollment, just to see how much interest there

is in this idea. >> tough times for everybody. okay. we'll have to see how this all shakes out. thank you. billions of dollars in child support went unpaid to single parents last year. going to court often doesn't even help the situation. fredricka whitfield looks at other ways to help kids get the support they need in this "what matters" segment. >> reporter: it is a typical day this household. >> you are becoming quite the cook. >> reporter: an average american family. but lashonda is barely making ends meet. >> every day is a struggle, figuring out what we're going to week. >> reporter: she says her ex-husband owes her more than $82,000 in child support. she's taken him to court but his payments have been sporadic to nonexistent because his income is also sporadic. as a minimum wage employee, she makes too much to qualify for government assistance. so she and her three kids live in a barely turnished two-bedroom apartment.

dorothy brown is trying to help custodial parents as an illinois county clerk. she is responsible for managing a child support system that owes its residents almost $3 billion. >> a lot of times noncustodial parents don't know how to go into court and get their child support reduced. how does it help a child if a noncustodial parent is in jail and can't pay child support. we need to really have a national re-invention of child support. >> reporter: brown suggests dividing the program. for past unpaid child support, and new child support rulings. and then, split those groups by age. focusing on minors who need more financial help. amnesty and compromise programs could be developed for kids over 18. nationwide, more than $110 billion are owed in unpaid child support. but some experts say, it's not as bad as it seems. >> it looks like a big number

but the number is very misleading because it accumulates year after year. it's much more important to look at the total collections and what they're doing. >> reporter: for example, in 2010, more than $32 billion in child support was owed and more than $20 billion of that was distributed. but lashonda wasn't one of those recipients. >> i can't worry about it. i used to worry about it. when i worry about it, it spoil the time i did have with the kids. now i just like roll with the punches. the head of u.s. border patrol testifies about an embarrassing problem. employees taking bribes from mexican drug cartels. going to tell what you it means along the border.

and maybe even a little bit lower. it is an awl time, frankly, because everything has changed in the whole mortgage game. lenders are demanding higher credit scores than ever. you definitely got to have 700 or higher to get the best loan rates an terms. they also want you to have a significant amount of equity. we know home prices have fallen. you've also got to have documentation. of course the job to support the mortgage and also all your your assets, whatever you have to show to be able to say, yeah, i really can support it mortgage. so even though the environment from an interest rate standpoint is very attractive for people who want to refinance, the process of getting a loan from the lender might not be so easy. >> if you can get it, it is a good time but you better have all your ducks in a row. >> that's right. >> ron from oregon -- i have a conventional ira in a money market fund making near 0% interest right now. i don't want to risk putting it in the stock market. is there a safe place i can put my money? >> it depends on how quickly you need to make withdrawals with

this money. if you need to start taking the money out, look at things like savings accounts or money market deposit accounts. the top yielding accounts will pay a full percentage point higher than what you're getting on that money fund right now. but don't need to tap into this money right now, look into something like a cd. that interesting is tax deferred because it is within an i.r.a. and your principle is not at risk. at bank rate drate.com we have of the top yielding cds. >> those interest rates are pretty puny these days. have a question you want answered? cnnhelpdesk@cnn.com. ♪ you love money ♪ well, you know i love it too ♪

in northern japan, four new areas have been added to the list of places affected by radiation from the crippled nuclear power plant in fukushima. they're all outside the original

evacuation zone. now tomorrow marks three months since the plant was damaged by an earthquake and tsunami. thousands of people are still living from day to day just not knowing what their future holds. brian mcdonald is with us now, he's an american who teaches english and he survived the earthquake. we had been speaking to you right after the disaster. we appreciate you following us with us here. how are people responding to this news, first of all, that this is now expanded, this danger zone, if you will? >> they're not happy about it at all. they thought they were safe, semi-safe, after the initial scare, and now they're increasing it to several areas that have received high radiation readings so they're clearly not happy about it. no one likes moving or living in a shelter which is what a lot of people are doing. there's more than 2,000 active

shelters right now around japan holding these refugees. >> ryan, how has life changed since that earthquake and tsunami? >> it's changed a lot. a lot of people's attitudes have changed as well a lot. big example, people in the shelters up until the tsunami had houses and lives in different places, but now they live in a 6x6 cardboard box that's three feet tall and has no roof. and the shelters are very helpful because it gives someone a place to live, but at the same time it's a hard floor, they have bath times, food times, lights out, strictly at 10:00. there's group bathrooms and from what i understand from a lot of people is the shelters are very stressful. the children are doing okay. >> yeah, i was going to ask you about that, ryan. you work with kids, you've been teaching for a long time.

how are kids holding up? how are they doing? >> they're doing pretty good, because japan has a very rigid structure and they just have snapped into that structure. again, it is just somewhere else. now that they're home. but i teach at four different schools and at two of the schools the population is doubled because of refugees. the kids are happy, they're smiling, i don't -- i never talk about the shelter. i say how was your weekend? some people from australia have sent messages to the kids of japan and i've passed them out at some of my schools. >> ryan? we are so happy that you're doing well, that the students that you work with are also do well and we'll check back in with you as well later as this story develops. thank you, ryan. well, they are supposed to protect our borders but hundreds of border patrol agents are accused of accepting bribes from

mexican drug cartels. or cnn's rafael romo joins us. i understand the inspector general is involved in investigations at the highest level. how big a problem is this? it is hard to believe this is happening. >> it is just incredible when you think about the fact they're the first line of defense for our country and the kinds of things that they're doing, they're basically being investigated for being complicit with mexican drug cartels and mexican organized crime and getting cash and even sexual favors. the top official at customs and border enforcement testified before congress yesterday and this is what he had to say about this issue. >> since 2004 in october, 127 cbp personnel have been arrested, charged or convicted of corruption. this breach of trust is something that we do not stand for. >> and you heard that number right -- 127 agents since 2004. there have been as many as 870

investigations last year alone. now the commissioner said that this is -- the way cbp is, it is like a family, that they're all very tight together. but when something like this happens,er in's n er i happens, they're in the going to tolerate it. let's hear what he had to say. >> we recognize that there are bad apples in the barrel and it is our job to minimize those. prevent corruption, detect it when it happens, prosecute it after investigating it with -- in concert with other federal agencies and the united states attorney's office and the department of justice. >> and he specifically mentioned the case of one agent by the name of martha garnika, she was indicted in 2009 basically because she was helping mexican organized crime and she's now serving a 20-year sentence. basically she allowed the cartel to smuggle drugs into the united states, 100 kilograms of

marijuana. >> wow. a shocking story. thanks for bringing it to us. your choose the news story just moments ago. you love the aroma of beef tenderloin, don't you? you inspired a very special dog food.

the sand from month front of yo you're probably not thinking too much about what's in the water. that's why local, state and federal authorities do it for you, constantly monitoring samples. >> if the bacteria levels are too high, that's when they'll post an advisory or closure. >> reporter: sara from the environmental protection agency's department of water says last summer the nation's beaches were open 95% of the time. but when a beach needs to be closed, it's usually a problem that could have been reventepre. >> contamination comes most commonly from sewer runoff and pet waste and animal waste. >> reporter: the majority of last summer's beach closures only lasted a day or two and the bacteria that keeps swimmers out of the water is rarely life threatening, but it could cast a cloud over your summer fun. >> they might have stomach ailments, eye, ear and nose ailments, those types of things.
